sal·vage

noun

A collectible that has endured time, movement, ownership, and history

Our Story

Collecting has always been a way to keep the Star Wars galaxy close. These objects are more than toys. They are physical remnants of stories, characters, and moments that shaped how many of us imagined the world growing up.

What mattered was never ownership for its own sake.
It was connection.

Each piece carries evidence of where it’s been—how it was made, how it was kept, and why it survived. That history is what gives it meaning.

It’s about survival

In the Star Wars universe, very little lasts forever.

Ships fail.
Empires collapse.
Wars leave scars behind.

What survives is what someone recognized as worth keeping.

Every figure.
Every vehicle.
Every worn box or incomplete piece that still exists today does so because someone chose to hold onto it, care for it, and eventually pass it along.

That act matters.

We aren’t curators

We don’t collect to lock things away. We hold onto them for a while, knowing that one day they’ll move on to the next person who recognizes their value.

Hello there

My name is Jorge Martinez. I’m the founder and product designer behind Salvage Toys. I built it to document my own Star Wars collection and to have a place where I could thoughtfully showcase and sell pieces to other collectors.

Growing up, I always wanted some small connection to the Star Wars universe. Collecting became that connection. These objects made the galaxy feel tangible—something you could hold, examine, and live with, not just watch on a screen.

Salvage Toys lives at the intersection of thoughtful design and serious collecting. It’s shaped by familiarity with the hobby, respect for the objects themselves, and an understanding of how collectors actually interact with their collections over time.

Like many collectors, I see myself as a temporary steward. These pieces outlast us. They move on to the next person who recognizes their value.

If you believe these relics deserve more than a generic listing, you’re in the right place.
